If someone gave me $500 for cloth diapers, after I finished kissing them and grovelling, I would spend it all on Fuzzibunz OS diapers. I like BGs and most of my stash is made of them, but I LOVE the brights in FuzziBunz!

Oooh, $500 for cloth diapers. It's just so exciting that I couldn't even pick. First of all, I'd get a new wet bag because mine (cheap one from Target) has shrunk. Then I'd buy lots of different prints and try at least one of each different brand that I can find. And I'd find some diaper with ruffles somewhere.

Right now, I think it would be a bunch of Mother-Eases. This is my first week into official cloth diapering… boy, it's HARD! Couple leaks, a blow out, not knowing how to fold them correctly, etc. I have several types to try from, and so far MEs are holding up the best.

Another reason why I would be picking MEs is because they can line dry better than AIOs or prefolds. I live in an apartment and don't plan to chunk up money for the dryer when I can use the sun.

I'd probably buy a really nice sampler pack because I love using different kinds of diapers for different things. I love pockets for night time. Love fitted for out and about and I love prefolds for being around the house. So an assortment would be my answer

Hmm, so hard to answer! We don't have a big stash, so I think I would get several different brands and styles so we could try them all out. I would also get some more cloth wipes and a couple wet bags! 🙂

If someone gave me $500 to spend on cloth??? Wow, I wouldn't use it all!!! I probably would get a good stash of GroVia for myself as it's the one system we haven't tried, and then spend the rest of the money on prefolds/covers and everything needed to get other new and LOW INCOME mothers started on CDing. Having been a low income mom when I started (making less than $500 a month and taking care of a very high needs and medically fragile child who is doing better now 🙂 ) I think other moms who were in my situation need to know about not only the cost savings, but to be ecofriendly also. I think it's very important to pay it forward and this would be the most perfect way to do that!!!

If I had $500 to spend I would split it up. There are some very cute diapers out there that I'd like to have. I really like the Rumparooz in Lux. I would probably mainly get Fuzzibunz and Grovia, though. I'm excited to see the new designs that Grovia is putting out soon.

If someone gave me $500 bucks for cloth diapers, I would get fuzzibunz and bum genius with snaps in all colors. I am wanting 4 children so they would come in handy.I have about 15 with my 19 month old, so I am trying to expand my stash.

If I had $500 for cloth diapering, I would buy a variety of OS AIOs including BumGenius organics. I'd probably also buy a large variety of fitteds to test them out. We're all set on NB diapers but need to build our stash for when LO gets bigger.

Wow that is a tough question!! I am really loving Thirsties Duo Diapers. I love the fact that the insert comes out in the wash. We are using a size 2 and my daughter is 1 yr old and is only on the middle rise, so I find this very true to fit. I would love to have a whole stash of these for the next baby when I am pregnant, so I am going to say, Thirsties Duo Diapers!

I'm just starting out with cloth (baby due very soon!) so I'm still in the learning stage. I think if I had $500 to cloth diaper I would want a really well rounded stash. I would definitely want a lot of fitteds and wool. I really like to support small shops and WAHMS when I can, so I would try to buy from there when I can.

I'm just starting out with cloth (baby due very soon!) so I'm still in the learning stage. I think if I had $500 to cloth diaper I would want a really well rounded stash. I would definitely want a lot of fitteds and wool. I really like to support small shops and WAHMS when I can, so I would try to buy from there when I can.

I would buy 10 Rumparooz G2 OS with snap closures, 10 Bum Genius 4.0's with Hook and Loop closures, 7 Thirsties Duo Wrap covers with Aplix closures, and one size small Planet Wise wetbag for my diaper bag. If I bought this all from Kelly's Closet, I'd still have a quarter left.

If I had $500- I would buy the Rumparooz starter bundle for $300 and then 3 small AIO BGs for $47 and 3 small perfect size Fuzzi Bunz for $54. With remaining moola I would 2 FB perfect size in medium for $32, 2 GroVia experience package for $63, and thirsties wipe pack for $11.

I would definitely get some BG Elemental AIOs (in hopes that I could get my husband to change a diaper, since he's not changed one since we switched), Thirsties covers in every color, a few more GroVia shells and lots of extra soaker pads, and I want to replace the bulk of my prefold stash with fitteds (as well as upgrade the prefolds I keep to organic ones in the next size up).

I would probably pick BG Elementals. I really like the pockets we've been using and I also really like the prefolds and covers for young babies… but I don't have any of these and there are some times when I would like a much easier Laundry Routine.

I think I'd also get some Bummis Wet bags with the straps and a mega bucket of Nellie's Soap or RG soap.

I would choose some of everything because I like to experiment with different styles/brands. I would definitely check out RUMPAROOZ, get some BSRBs and Goodmamas, and then splurge on some really cute things like custom Preston's Pants or something.bcarroll9494 AT yahoo DOT com

If I had $500 to spend only on cloth diapers, I'd buy a few more BG Organics because they're pricy and I know we like them, but only have two. I'd also buy a couple more Flip Organics because they work great for us for nighttime and we only have two of those too. There's a lot of other things that I haven't tried yet, though, that I'd love to! I'd probably try a couple of a bunch of different kinds of diapers to satisfy my need to try new things!

I'm an addict so I'd use the money to try diapers I don't yet have and I'd also get a few sized AIO for use at "school". I'd like to try a Doopsy in the Green, Orange or Red. I'd get the BumGenius AIO in the Twilight or the Ribbit.

I'd buy some more prefolds and covers, some WAHM AIO diapers in fun prints, some more wool and fleece soakers, shorties, and longies, some BumGenius AIOs and some GroVia shells and inserts for when we go to Disney World in December!

With $500 I would get an assortment of cute printed one-size, as well as newborn sized pockets or all-in-ones for my upcoming addition, and a bunch of the GroVia all-in-ones because I think they'll be great for when my older son is potty training… That would be so much fun to pick out so many new diapers!!! Then I would also donate some of my less-used diapers to new moms I know to try to convince them to use cloth as well!

I would buy several dozen Cloth-eez Prefolds to go with some Thirsties Duo Wrap Diaper Covers. Then I'd finish up my $500 shopping trip by buying some FuzziBunz so I could switch between the two when I felt the need.

I would purchase fuzzi bunz and econobums. I have a few fuzzi bunz and love them… not to mention their customer service is awesome! I would love to try the econobums because they are so affordable.angela_heffner@yahoo.com

Well I am starting my new baby stash now so I would get lots of newborns and smalls. I really want to try GroVia, I'd also be trying some Lil Joeys. Get some BumGenius, Fuzzi Bunz, Goodmamas and some other WAHM fitteds from Hyena Cart 🙂 I'd probably try out some wool for the first time

I would buy a wide variety of my favorites (yes I have mulitple). There would be a couple of BG AIO sized, a lot of FuzziBunz one-size, and a few others that I am interested in trying. I would definitely get a few cute prints and an assortment of colors.

Hmm, would probably buy blueberries one size as they have great patterns and are so soft inside. That being said, I just got a Rumparooz and who it seems just as soft but has a flap in back to keep the stuffing in so perhaps that will be even better.

If someone gave me $500 to use on diapers, I would buy Gro-vias to last till my little one was potty trained! I love the ease of use. Why use sposies when Gro-Vias are just as simple! Its a no-brainer for us!

Hmmm, $500 on cloth?!?! I would try some things I haven't yet (like wool), I would buy some AIOs (I only have 2) and I would get one more Planet wise hanging wet/dry bag. I guess I would also stock up on Rockin Green, wipe solution, disposable liners & biosoakers 🙂

I recently discovered fitteds and like them. I think i'd get some nice wool covers and some Organic bamboo, hemp or cotton fitteds. I'd also like to try other brands,like Tiny Tush, Thirsties, and Rump a Rooz, that i've never tried.sarah.robot at gmail dot com

Ooh, I don't know. Probably Thirsties products. A few pockets for relatives and those awkward seat-of-the-car changes while traveling, then lots of Duo Wraps and prefolds or lay-in inserts. I prefer an AI2 system for the bulk of changes b/c they take less space in diaper bag, wet bag, wash machine.If I had leftover, I would buy some diapers for the cloth diaper foundation, or any friend I could talk into trying cloth.

If I had $500 for cloth diapers… I would finally be able to wait a few days to do diapers for our 2 boys!! I would buy a mix of different diapers, better wipes, diaper sprayer, all of the things I have yet to be able to buy. 🙂

I would definately pick a pack of AIO's, made with natural material but with a PUL coating for waterproofing….i think Moneky Doodles has a great diaper with a patented gutteing in the leg to prevent leakage…i so want some of those, but i have tonnes of good diapers already and my husband informs me i am cutoff…lol

Wow, $500? I have such a hodgepodge stash now and haven't thought about what I'd really stock up on. I think I would still purchase a variety to meet our needs over the years. Definitely invest in more organic natural fibers and accessories like a diaper sprayer, more wet bags, nice wipes and pre-made solution, etc.

I would buy some Grovia and BG's. I would also stock up on lots of detergent. I would make sure to get some larger sizes for toddler/potty training. The rest I would spend on covers with insterts and customs made by WAHM's, they are awesome. I really like Rainforest babies ones and that is mostly what I have right now. I would also try to have enough to help someone else cloth diaper that could not afford it.

With $500 I would try something besides AIO which is all that I have at the moment. I would love to try the new Grovia AIO diapers though, because I have 2 of the Grobaby diapers and they are the last ones I will grab out of my stash! I've heard some great things about the new model, so I would love to give it a try.

Well…I am new to this whole thing…as in iv never tried anything! Right now I'm wanting to try groVia hybrids to ease my way into it. I'd love more pretty color covers as well. I don't even know the other brands so I can't say what I'd get based on anything other than cuteness!:)

Right now if I had $500 I would have to purchase a new laundry bag first off. With baby number 4 on the way I have been stocking up on prefolds but I have no covers for them. So I would have to buy lots of diaper covers and OS pockets.

I would buy a variety of styles and brands. I especially like the hybrid diapers like the Flip diaper, GroVia & G pants. Oh, and I'd buy some small fitted fuzzibunz because all my one size diapers are really big on my itty bitty boy!

I would buy loads of AOIs. We've only had prefolds and fitteds since they're cheaper, but I'd love to use AOIs. Especially since we're military and I have to travel from where we live to the daycare I help out at (which use cloth!) 😀

I would buy a mini shower diaper sprayer, a new pail liner, a couple of wetbags, a custom order from greensproutbaby, a couple of swaddlebees pocket diapers, more GroVia diapers, Rockin Green detergent, gdiaper liners and I'd buy a friend a starter stash–just GroVia. Bliss!!!

After I pulled myself up off the floor, I would buy tons of pocket diapers, bumGenius and Smartipants, and a bunch of ones I don't normally buy: Rumparooz and Tots Bots come to mind. I would also track down my beloved Wonder Wraps and buy a billion of them. Oh, and a couple new laundry pail-sized wet bags for the nursery.

id get some AIOs, some AI2s, some pockets, and some prefolds/covers. id get grovia AIOs, gDiapers AI2s, another BG pocket [probably 4.0 to try it out], a happy heinys pocket, blueberry covers, and a mix of GMD and osocozy unbleached prefolds. all the covers, AIOs, AI2s, and pockets would be OS [except the gDiapers but ONLY because theyre not available in OS.] id also get some grovia wipes and a pack of babykicks wipes, too, to see which i like most. id also get a planet wise hanging wet/dry bag because i REALLY want the coffee bean and lime one, and a couple bummis wet bags because i go out a lot. id get the pink and the blue stripes grovia AIOs, the good girl vibes and the gaga pink gDiaper patterns, the silly monkies happy heinys pattern, and the blue summer, pink lemonade, lemmon lime, pink, and cow pattern blueberry covers. 😀 oh i have this ALL planned out! lol.

i REALLY want to win these AIOs and wipes. ive been using disposable wipes. and i need more diapers that are grand-parent- and daddy-friendly. theyre still not on board with the cloth diapers thing. and i cant really afford to get more. man, i REALLY REALLY hope i win this one!!!

With $500, I would get few wet bags for day care and some GroVia AIOs to try out (we're big GroBaby fans here). And I think I'd save the rest to see what good new stuff is out when baby #2 gets here! 🙂

If someone gave me $500 for cloth diapers, I would try the GroVia AIO. I would also try Kissalvus, Tots Bots as well as different types of covers and inserts/prefolds. I would finish off my stash by stocking up on BG4.0's with snaps and FuzziBunz OS!

I would try all the different ones I have been wanting to! We only have GroBabies right now, but I would love to try Bumgenious – Organics & Flips, gdiapers, Fuzzibunz and the new Ragababe's! Oh how wonderful it would be if someone gave me $500 to spend on all of them!

I am really happy with my stash and have probably spent about $500. I've got two dozen prefolds, 4 thirsties duo covers, some bg aios, some fbs, some flips, some kawaiis, and some bsrbs. I like having all different kinds (prefolds, aios, pockets, hybrids, and fitteds), because I change my mind all the time about what my favorite type is. There are lots of other brands I would like to try, but if I had to do it all over, I would buy a few of each type again.

I would definitely get some of the new Bum Genius in velcro and snaps…would love to have one in the bubble color. I would get another aqua breeze Smartipants. Then I would try as many new diapers as possible in fun colors and prints.

Actually, we were given $500 to spend on cloth diapers as a shower gift, and I would do it again just the same way we've done it this time: We stocked up first on prefolds for each stage, then got a few each of Flips, Bummis, Thirsties duos, and Kissaluvs. Then with what's left over, Fuzzibunz and Bumgenius 4.0's!

Oh my goodness…$500? That would be amazing! I would buy some more Kissaluv size 0's for the baby on the way, and some OS diapers. Various brands to try them out since the only ones we have at this point are BG's and Smartipants. What fun that would be!

If I was given 500 dollars for diapers I would buy more OS diapers. In particular, FB, Rumparooz and BGs. I have one AI2, but no AIOs, so I would try a few of those. Then I would want some more minkys and woolies. Disana! I think I would spend a big chunk on woolies because we do have a pretty large diaper stash now. Oh, and I would replace the few thirsties aplix covers we have with snaps. I like the snaps much better…..Oh gee…I would be so excited.

Wow. Tough choice. I would probably buy one of every kind! I love trying new ones. But I would also want to add some more Rumparooz and Happy Heineys to my stash! Right now I only have one of each! The bum genius and fuzzibunz are my current favorites, but I have a bunch of those!!!

I would love to be able to try lots of different styles, particularly the wool options.

Also, I love love love the Thirsties Duo wraps, but I would like to have some AIO's for traveling.

One problem I have is that my son his HUGE and all his clothes are too tight in the diaper area, and too big everywhere else. Any suggestions for something trimmer underneath jeans, etc? I thought the GroVia might be a good choice.

Commented on DiaperShops FB about drying…Amanda Baesler Mitchell Son is 4 months old (born late March) used drier for first few times. Started to line dry when I had a few stubborn stains. I have line-dried for a month straight!!! I toss in the drier for only a few moments to soften them. Ssshhhh HOA doesn't allow clothes lines, so I pop up my drying rack and take down when finished. Not to mention our utility rates are going up in our hometown. 🙁

If I was given $500 to purchase cloth diapers I would go for the BG 4.0. I currently have 3.0, which I purchased for hubby. He thought prefold was too hard, so I spent a little more $$ on BG 3.0 so he would use cloth. I use Flip prefold & inserts. I must say I tend to feel 'lazy' and use the BG, so I would spend the $$ on BG 4.0. I might even try using cloth wipes. One step at a time…

Commented on TCDWDid you start out using disposables, hybrids (like G Diapers) or full on cloth diapers?

Amanda Baesler Mitchell We purchased cloth diapers before our first son was born, but planned on using disposables until we had the whole 'we are parents' feeling down pat. We quit using disposables when he was about 3-4 weeks old. At home we use cloth, but church nursery requires disposable, so we have a few on hand. Grandmother uses cloth when babysitting, other babysitters use disposables (he's been with other sitter once). We also have the Flip disposable inserts but have not tried them yet.

I'd definitely purchase something for my soon to be baby so she can start cloth in the hospital. We are budgeting out for long term, so we invested our money in OS diapers. Id' love smaller sizes. And different types!

If I could have $500 to spend on cloth diapers I would definately try out a few I have been eyeing. I would make sure to buy a couple of the Fuzzi Bunz diapers because I love their Mama cloths. I would also get a much needed travel wet bag and a diaper bin for home along with some detergent and cloth safe diaper ointment.

I would purchase a few mama-made wool covers/shorties/longies, or perhaps buy the wool to make some of my own! And some fitteds- not sure what kind but probably a mix of bamboo and hemp. Also some Fuzzi Bunz perfect fit pockets. I'd also like to give GroVia, Rumparooz, Applecheeks, Nickernappis, and a couple of other brands I can't think of at the moment a try.
